GREEN FLASH

Domain	Definition
Aerospace	A brilliant green coloring of the upper edge of the sun as it appears at sunrise or disappears at sunset when there is a clear, distinct horizon.The green flash is due to refraction by the atmosphere, which disperses the first (or last) spot of light into a spectrum. The green is bent more than red or yellow and hence is visible sooner at sunrise and later at sunset. (references)
Geography	Predominantly green coloration of short duration, . . . in the form of a flash, . . . at the extreme upper edge of a luminary (Sun, Moon, or. . . even a planet) when disappearing below or appearing above the horizon. Source: European Union. (references)
